about

You know those times when you get into an argument with an RCMP officer when they are breaking up a picket line? And when they finally leave, they tell you to have a nice day but you say, "I will not have a nice day. I will have a bad day like every other day." Yeah, this is about that.

lyrics

I took an oath to uphold the only way of life that we've ever known. I swear to you that I'm a good person and that I did a kind act earlier this morning.

So what's with the attitude? I've made these sacrifices all for you. So what's with the attitude? Without me, what ever would you do?

You took an oath to uphold capital, the social order, the racist status quo. You're good and righteous, this you know. Wealth, power, and your gun, oh how they tell you so.

So what's with the attitude? It's how there's laws for us and laws for you. So what's with the attitude? It's how the hatred underwrites everything you do.

Not all oaths are worth keeping.
